Whole head

Love & Salt (address and info)Manhattan BeachWhat you’re getting: Roasted glazed pig head
We get it, choosing your favorite part of the pig’s head is tough. Fortunately, at this MB date spot you can order the whole damn thing, roasted and glazed with maple-vinegar-pale-ale, and served with toast and condiments.

Cheek

Sotto (address and info)West LAWhat you’re getting: Guanciale pizza
This is nothing like that Hawaiian pizza you insist on ordering from Big Mama’s & Papa’s for some dumb reason: this is some next-level pizza, and you need to get on this level -- with house-cured pork cheek, ricotta, scallions, and fennel pollen, this is part of the reason this underground spot made our list of the best Italian restaurants in LA.

Snout

Belly & Snout (address and info)KoreatownWhat you’re getting: Sisig hot dog
It’s pretty clear what this new Filipino joint in K-town has in store for you. The sisig hot dog is topped with a blend of -- you guessed it -- pork snout and belly, fried and chopped, and topped with chicharrón (porky bonus!). Be brave. It’s worth it.

Jowl

Terrine (address and info)Mid-WilshireWhat you’re getting: Choucroute Garnie
Not surprisingly (given the name), this new joint on Beverly really delivers on its swine-friendly charcuterie spread, including a house-made pork head cheese. Don’t miss the crunchy-tender combo of sous vide and flash-fried pork jowls.

Ears

Petty Cash Taqueria (address and info)Mid-WilshireWhat you’re getting: Pig ear nachos
Pig ears may just be the new kale of food trends (fingers crossed!) with everyone from Animal to The Church Key to Barlo Kitchen + Cocktails dishing up awesome versions. But it’s pretty hard to say no to these epic, crispy, nacho-fied ones, especially when they’re topped with a runny egg. Tip: don’t say no.

Collar and neck

Cadet (address and info)Santa MonicaWhat you’re getting: Wood-grilled pork collar with pork toro and loin
This killer new modern/rustic French spot in SM is where you’re totally going to impress your date. And also where you’re totally going to order a wood-grilled pork collar, pork toro (aka the neck), and milk-braised loin.

Leg

Bar Pintxo (address and info)Santa MonicaWhat you’re getting: Jamón ibérico "bellota"
Considered by many to be the holy grail of ham, the bellota version of this Spanish favorite is cured for 36 months, and that’s only after the pig that it belonged to leisurely feasted on acorns in a field. If they have a leg in house (it sells out fast), several slices will likely be all that you need (and can afford).

Rectum

Hong Kong Fish Ball House (address and info)Rowland HeightsWhat you’re getting: Ummm... fried pork rectum
You've made it this far, might as well go all the way to the, uh, end. Yum?

Heart, tongue, kidney, and more!

Las Morelianas (address and info)DowntownWhat you’re getting: Carnitas surtida taco
When you’re looking for all that inside-porcine-goodness that you can’t find elsewhere, head to this Grand Central Market stalwart for the works. Traditionally from Michoacán, Mexico, the surtida is a crazy, flavor-packed pork party of heart, tongue, kidney, liver, neck, skin, leg, snout, ears, and feet.

From the people behind Pizzeria Mozza and Osteria Mozza, Chi Spacca is the meat restaurant in the Mozza Group's Italian empire. Essentially an Italian steakhouse, the West Hollywood spot serves up top-notch charcuterie, juicy and tender steaks (the tomahawk is the best in town), and vegetable sides. The steaks are pricey but worth it.

New space, new look: the revamped Salt's Cure 2.0 continues to make good on their promise to source all of their ingredients from California, but their new digs on Highland Ave have allowed them to take the next step from quaint farm to table cooking to brighter, more inventive fare.

When you realize that this BBQ joint doesn't allow you to get the side order of mac-and-cheese as a side for your spare ribs, but requires you to order them as an additional side, you might be put off. But when your teeth sink in to either those ribs or one of your choices in the three meat combo, you'll forget all about your gripes.

Love & Salt is an Italian restaurant with a California soul. Try its breakfast-meets-lunch options, which include Nutella toast with strawberries & sea salt, a smoked fish board with housemade bagels (the chef is from New York, so you know these will be good), and wood oven-baked eggs with grilled bread.

This West LA restaurant serves Southern Italian food in an upscale and hip basement space. The menu is always changing but remains consistent for its emphasis on comfort and creativity. Expect small, medium, and large plates of meat and seafood, plus simply refined pasta dishes (like spaghetti with clams) and knock-out Neapolitan pizzas. The dimly-lit interior is outfitted with rustic communal tables and an open kitchen.

This Filipino joint in K-town has plenty in store for you. The sisig hot dog is topped with a blend of -- you guessed it -- pork snout and belly, fried and chopped, and topped with chicharrón (porky bonus!). Be brave. It’s worth it.

Nostalgic French fare is given the expansive brasserie and a fairytale garden it deserves in Terrine, with chef Kris Morningstar masterminding elegant chicken confit salad, garlic-butter bathed escargots and a steak frites with smoked bone marrow that can be paired with an impressive French wine list. The namesake terrine, made with foie gras and served with apricot compote, proves worthy of the honor. Yet, a visit is utterly incomplete without sampling the charcuterie boards: with truffled chicken liver, terrine de campaign, liverwurst, andouille sausage and smoked beef deckle arranged with pickled morsels on a sturdy wooden disc. Dreamy and casual, the dining room is filled with bistro chairs, distressed brick and umber-hued leather banquettes with ornate mirrors propped behind them. The best part awaits behind an archway in the back, revealing an outdoor lounge with a giant illuminated tree as the centerpiece. The spot is more than an ideal perch for star-gazing, a well-balanced classic cocktail by Ryan Wainwright making you question your balance.

The second location of Chef Kris Yenbamroong's Night + Market, the cool and casual Song (which means two) continues the original restaurant's ode to Thai street food. The Silverlake spot serves all of Yenbamroong's cult classics, like the sweet and salty party wings, plus a revolving door of dishes exclusive to the location. The far-from-ordinary Northern Thai plates certainly aren't the Americanized cuisine you're used to in LA, so trust your gut and order whatever looks good. FYI: the fried chicken sandwich is a lunchtime hit.

A beautiful Downtown restaurant -- from a Michelin-award winning chef and the guys who founded the Pebble Beach Food & Wine fest -- Faith and Flower serves up a menu of seasonal dishes, classic staples, and a raw bar. The aphrodisiac seafood, vintage touches, and romantic décor, including hand mirrors and candles throughout the eating area, establish this as a prime date night spot.

Combining Euro styles and Southeast Asian spices, this Manhattan Beach staple turns out some serious shanks -- all of which are caramelized, red vinegar glazed, and peanut-scallion topped with a persimmon side. There’s never a quiet moment at this upscale spot, meaning zero awkward silences for you and your date. Go here for the stellar food (like pork belly crepes and lemongrass beef noodles) as much as for the relaxed-yet-hip vibe.

Cliff's Edge is a Silver Lake mainstay with towering wood doors, a seasonal, New American menu, craft cocktails, and an eccentric -- but more importantly, reasonably priced -- wine list. While this is all well and good (and it is... really, really good), the real draw is the almost enchanting, vaguely woodsy, foliage-lined patio with lights strung among the treetops and one large, protruding tree trunk to anchor the outdoor space. Sit here, slurp oysters in red wine mignonette, sip grower Champagne, and you might just be able to tune out the traffic sounds blaring from Sunset Boulevard.

The rustic space that houses Eveleigh has a reclaimed, wood-laden indoor-outdoor dining room with a communal table and sofa-like seating. Their outdoor patio is the real draw, where you'll feel as though you've entered a gorgeous garden party, surrounded by homegrown herbs and vegetables. From land (lamb meatballs) to sea (wild Pacific yellowtail), every dish on Eveleigh's menu is market-fresh and crafted with care.
